Zones and PTZ questions
Is it possible to have another program read the camera data folder and interact with BI? Can I in some way read which zones are being triggered on which cameras?- Abbell

Zones and PTZ questions
No answers so far? Here is a big issue that BI should be able to work through. From what I can see I have to set multiple cameras to be able to trigger different zones. Then I have to set multiple cameras to get my PTZs to move to those zones. Sounds overly complex? Also, BI is only good for 64...- Abbell

Headless with little resource use
hrmm... Thanks Fenderman, now the fun can begin. I use a 7" monitor by my front door that shows my porch and front door cam. If I can setup streams to the TVs that would be perfect as well. I used to run 4 channels over my TV coax, but now that I have basic cable that has been hijacked and I am... -

New victim, er user questions
OK, sad that I am answering my own question. That said, I hope someone else can read this for help. Apparently I do not own one of the 58,000 DVRs that RaySharp makes that is easy to gain root access. I ran a port sniffer and telnet brute force... then the Metasploit RaySharp module. All failed...- Abbell

Headless with little resource use
Another question would be if BI can stream to other devices... I run BI from remote so headless works just fine. I am curious if it can stream out to a VLC, Rasp Pi, etc. -

WeMo Devices - Cheap way to remotely reboot / turn on and off PC
Few tricks I use on my network. Magic packet sender will wake up a computer that is shutdown. I you are logged into a computer and only have the logoff option. Goto CMD and type "shutdown /r" and it will reboot. If you want it to reboot NOW just type "shutdown /r /t 0"- Abbell

China tried to login
Are you sure the China attempt was trying to access BI? I ask this because I noticed a camera I was playing with was using its own version of DDNS for mobile connections. Part of the heartbeat could have been a return response. I have myself semi-locked down. I will run a proper VPN again once I... -
periodic random loss of connection to hikvision camera
If you swapped the camera and it happens on the same port then the issue follows the location and not the camera. Swap the ports around and see if the issue follows the connection or the port. If it follows the port then you may have an overloaded POE (devices can start to lose the ability to...- Abbell

Newbie Question
I have been playing with BI and my old analog system so feel your pain. Have you tried the Digital Watchdog make in the IP settings? Change the RTSP port to 9010? -
Need advice on cameras...CAT6 may or may not be possible!
I have run a fair share of wiring and repaired more than enough "ugly" jobs. The worst was a client who lived in a home that was once owned by a concrete contractor. I kid you not, the entire house including the basement ceiling was concrete...ack! Some cameras can be purchased with "deep...- Abbell

Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)
I think it is the only design flaw with that style of camera. I have a 7H450 PTZ that loses picture when it rains due to the lens position, that and it being a very noisy camera are its main drawbacks. My Bosch VG4 has no such issue and is the polar opposite. I can't hear it when standing next... -
I need advice on security cameras
Wifi sounds nice until you know the drawbacks. The bandwidth is eaten up by cameras so the more you have the less you can stuff on the same channel. There are solutions, like running multiple access points with hidden SSIDs, but even those can be sniffed out. Any wifi device can be either...- Abbell

Looking for recomendations
Hey all, I am working on slowly moving away from my analog setup. I have installed many inexpensive analog systems so I am familiar with many of the basics of running cables and setting up coverage zones. I did find a way to integrate my current system directly with BI so I am going to...- Abbell

Best Blue Iris NVR Build for around $700 budget

Zones and PTZ questions
Next question... :O Area tracking: So I have static cameras that can sense motion in BI and send a trigger to a group. Can I send different triggers based on Zones or do I need to use the "create a duplicate camera trick?" If I have one PTZ camera and I have a trigger that sets it to home in on...- Abbell

New victim, er user questions
Hey all, I am starting the IP cam adventure. I have installed analog camera systems and the prices on IP cameras as well as features have improved greatly. I am frugal at best and I blame certain people for their glowing reviews (read Nayr) and making me want to get into this. I bought 2 Dahua...- Abbell

Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)
I think I will add it to my ever-growing list. I have the free version of Google Fiber (5Mbs) coming and the load balance/firewall device is going to be the primary project. My son is getting to the age where his severe lack of porn may cause some renewed motivation to get past me. He has been... -

https://domoticz.com/ That looks interesting... I am about to embark on another adventure and use my Atom to run a ClearOs firewall and load balancer for my internet. How much power does Domoticz require? I may be able to add it in as a quad core is more than enough for my plans. -
Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)
I was thinking of finding some wireless motion detectors and tie them into an alarm system. I can use motion detection in my analog cameras to trigger my PTZ cameras to change zones. But, I have a Frankenstein system like NO other. I am frugal (read usually broke) so I get what I can when I... -
